Why some inside WWE are currently unhappy with Netflix after recent Triple H post
WWE and Netflix officials were always going to come to blows at some point and it feels like the initial seeds are being sewn. We’ve seen over the years how Vince McMahon and others have had to contend with decisions or chatter from up above when it comes to television networks and it looks like Netflix are no different.
WWE and Netflix have a history of clashing over creative decisions, as networks often meddle in content. On the latest Monday Night Raw, The Usos were defeated by Royce Keys and OTM, with Jey Uso bleeding and being carried away. In an unusual move, Netflix blurred out Jey Uso's face, leaving viewers to witness the incident but without the explicit details.
This decision has reportedly irritated some within WWE's production team, leaving them feeling "handcuffed" by Netflix's content restrictions. The issue is particularly relevant after Triple H posted the uncensored version of the event himself on social media, potentially as a response to Netflix or simply to cater to fans' preferences.
While Netflix funds WWE, the streaming platform holds significant control over the final product. However, WWE's recent resurgence under Triple H's leadership has faced setbacks due to such censorship tactics, which could create rifts between key stakeholders.
